Bert and Ernie Fruit Treats

For Big Bird's Birthday party, we also created Bert and Ernie fruit treats. (Yes, I know they need some work, but the kids loved them!)

I cut an orange in half and cut out a slit for the mouth. I cut the tip off a strawberry for Ernie's nose. I used a banana for Bert, and also cut out a slit for his mouth. I used candy eyes for the eyes. A mini marshmallow would work too. I cut up pieces of orange for the ears on both Bert and Ernie, and also used an orange piece for Bert's nose. I drew on eyebrows and hair with black food gel. Then I placed a slice of strawberry in each of the character's mouths.

About Me

As a mother of three young children, ages 14, 8, and 5, I strive to make memories with them that will last. To make the most of our time, I set aside time with them every night that is "our time". This blog is dedicated to sharing those special moments that any busy mom or dad can do with their children.

I am a full-time high school English teacher, so time is very limited for me. With that being said, our children will only be young for a limited amount of time. We need to show them that they are our number one priority.

I hope this blog inspires others to do things with their children.I have also included various recipes that will help the working parent get a meal on the table quickly after work. My kids love to help me bake, so a lot of our activities are baking together. The recipes I share are recipes my kids have helped me make.

Connect with your children! Don't let time pass before you get a chance to show them how important they are.
